Parapegma: Multi-City Trips

You booked eight days away. Two of them are trains — you just don't know it yet. Parapegma plans the part of a trip that everything else treats as admin: the moving. It prices the flights, trains, buses and ferries of a whole multi-city journey, ranks complete trips against what you asked for, and shows you what each day costs you in daylight as well as money. HOW IT WORKS Name the city you leave from, roughly when you want to go, and what you care about — warm, cheap, short on long hauls, low on UV, dry or quiet. Six taps. Nothing typed. Parapegma then searches the direct flights out of your city, builds the routes you can reach overland from wherever those land, and ranks entire trips: the flight out, the trains between cities, the way home. You get whole journeys with a total on them, not a pile of fragments to assemble yourself. DAYLIGHT, NOT JUST DEPARTURE TIMES Every day of the trip shows sunrise, sunset, the hours of light you get, and how much of that light you will spend sitting in a seat. A 21:20 flight that lands at 06:25 is marked as the night it really is. Two cities on the same October trip can differ by hours of usable day, and this is the app that tells you before you book rather than after. WHAT THE NUMBERS MEAN Train and bus times come from live European timetable data. Flight prices come from a live search. Nothing is invented, and anything that is still an estimate says so on the card, every time. If you paid something different, change it. Put in what it actually cost and the trip's total follows. This app would rather be corrected than pretend. A TRIP HAS A SHAPE See the whole journey as a chart of what each day costs you to move, and drag across it to read any single day on its own. Add a stop on the way and the journey splits into the two legs that make it possible, priced and timed. Move a journey to another day and everything that has to move with it does. Plan a day out and be back the same evening. IT WORKS WITH NO SIGNAL Sunrise, daylight, distance and ranking are all computed on your device. A saved trip opens on the plane, in a tunnel, or abroad with data switched off. WHAT IT DELIBERATELY DOES NOT DO It does not book your hotel. It does not recommend restaurants. It does not try to be your whole holiday. Beds and meals never enter a trip's total. When you do want a bed there is a search waiting with your dates already in it, but that price is never mixed into what it costs to move. The restraint is the product, not a gap in it. WHY "PARAPEGMA" A parapegma was an ancient calendar: a stone slab with movable pegs, tracking the risings of stars and the length of each day. That is the whole idea in one word — a trip laid out against the light it happens in. FOURTEEN LANGUAGES English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, Turkish, Indonesian, Russian, Armenian, Arabic, Hindi, Japanese and Chinese. HONEST ABOUT MONEY No account. No subscription. No ads, and nothing tracking you across other apps. Booking links are affiliate links: if you book through one, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. It never affects the ranking — the app recommends the trip that best fits what you asked for, not the one that pays best.
